I suppose I invalidate your point somehow though.

I'll take a picture later, but it says the following:

MR4 EC05 system update

downloaded and verified

This update includes an update to Android 2.2 Froyo, Sprint ID and several minor system enhancements that address potential performance issues on your device. The update will require that your phone is rebooted and it will not be available for emergency calls while installing the software after downloaded.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
You won't be able to install it so don't bother.

Nothing assures you instant upgrades. The Nexus One doesnt get instant updates anymore. If the T-Mobile Nexus S is still the reference platform, then Samsung will still have to develop CDMA/4g drivers that are compatible with all new updates before the Sprint Nexus S sees it. It might be "one of the first", but far from instant. Still gonna be waiting weeks to months.

[Epic 4G General] sensor32:
when my phone attempts to install the update I get an install error, just a pic of an android with and exclamation no text, and it then reboots into Clockwork and I slect reboot and the phone boots up as normal, showing no update in the phone info.

Which currently my phone is rooted. I have CWM 2.5.5

Phone info is:

Firmware: 2.2.1

Kernel: 2.6.32.9

Build: Froyo. EB13

Not sure how to stop the update process or to allow it and re-root?

I did the battery calibration and everything and off the charger my phone maybe lasts 4 to 5 hours not being used. So I'm thinking a bad battery? Running the latest Syndicate frozen
[Epic 4G General] DangerZone1223:
If you're on EC05, a bunch of people are complaining about bad battery life. I think it's because the auto brightness settings are pretty bright and need to be toned down a bit. That's my guess, but it might be something deeper.
[Epic 4G General] ichefae85:
Still running eb13 had the same. Lifespan on di18 also I have a fascinate and I'll try that battery see if that makes a difference
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Automatic Brightness says that it will hurt your battery more then manually setting your brightness. Gosh, no wonder why so many people complain about battery life. No one can read anymore. Seriously, my battery life is the exact same as DI18 as it is on EC05. Learn how to use your phone efficiently.

And if you dare to have the nerve to disagree with me, I'll redirect you to "Poor Battery Life" threads from EVERY SINGLE DEVICE on XDA. I doubt every carrier and company is making the battery life horrible, nah just the users.
[Epic 4G General] cpcormier3:
Sorry child, but my battery life is worst with ec than eb with the same set up. I think most people are comparing their battery life between various updates using the same setup. If you don't see a difference then so be it, but if a lot of people see a decline in the battery life then it's something that people may want to know so they can decide if they want that version. If it's due to more brightness then it's still a setting that's not what you may want.
[Epic 4G General] ichefae85:
Haha i've had the bad battery life since life of phone. Keep brightness at the lowest so I'm pretty sure it's just a bad battery im just gonna buy a new One no biggee I guess haha

[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
If the phone's not being used, screen brightness isn't the culprit.
[Epic 4G General] ichefae85:
Yeah I'll try that. In the meantime I'll use the battery from my fascinate
[Epic 4G General] marckuh:
When I received EB13, my battery life was way worse than D18. The battery would drain in 5 hours with no use. I finally reset it, and it was like having a completely different phone. Everything worked like it was supposed to. I can have wifi, gps, and auto-bright on at all times with no battery drain. I stopped running Advanced Task Killer this time around as well. My friends didn't believe me, but here is my battery after 24 hours. This is normal use...slacker to and from work (40 minutes total), check email, txt messages here and there, and a few phone calls.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
What do you mean you "reset it"?
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Thank you.
[Epic 4G General] josidhe:
Are people testing their battery life before or after installing extra system tools? I was burned on my last Android phone after realizing automated task/cpu/etc apps were doing more harm than good. Nowadays I just run stock, with some apps removed, the launcher replaced, and brightness managed manually, and I rarely struggle with my battery life (my biggest enemy is the weak signal at work).

It somehow reminds me of driving with your windows down to reduce the fuel consumption of the A/C, just to cause the same problem with drag.
[Epic 4G General] marckuh:
I initially did Menu, Settings, Privacy, Factory data reset and then I did the following just for the hell of it since I already did the factory reset. Figured it wouldn't hurt.

1. Turn off your phone.

2. Hold the volume down, camera and power buttons until the system recovery screen appears.

3. Use the volume keys to scroll to wipe data/factory reset and select that option using the home key.

4. You will see a warning on the screen telling you that you are about to reset your phone and erase all your personal information.

5. Press the volume up key to proceed. Press the volume down button to exit and not reset your phone.

6. After the reset is complete, use the home key to select reboot system now.

7. Your phone will turn off and turn back on.

Hello Everyone.

I'm a new Evo 4G user and look forward to learning ALOT from this site. When I learn more about rooting, I'm sure I'll take the plunge. For now, I need internet access at my (rural) house. After reading many people say how wonderful PdaNet is, I can't get it to work. This is very important to me because my wife and I just seperated and she has my daughter (moved out of state). She won't let me call and talk to my daughter because I use her cell phone minutes (she has AT&T). I want to do skype, but need internet access. For now, I go to McD's or Dunkin Donuts to use their WiFi.

When I tried to tether earlier today, it connects to Network 3, but has no internet access.

I'm gettting error code 67 on my phone. I dismiss it.

It says Fail to Connect to the internet. Please make sure your phone has good data service and try again. I hit "Enable USB Tether and it just refreshed the same screen (I know that was already selected anyway)

I just tried it again here at DD. It said something like this application requires network access, so I connected to DD WiFi. I then get "PdaNet is on and running as a backgro0und service on your phone. Please click PdaNet tray icon from teh computer end to connect"

I do that, and it says "Please make sure your phone is attached to your computer and USB debugging is enabled on the phone"

Yes and yes.

Sorry for the rant here, Guys, but I really need to get internet at the house.

Thanks,

Bob
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blitzkriegchef:
If your phone shows error 67 then the phone has no data connection, make sure it shows a 3G or 4G symbol to the left of your signal indicator, but with a quick root using unrevoked and a download of wireless tether you can connect and share wirelessly, don't hesitate at this point Evo rooting is down to a science and awesome devs have already done all the hard work for you, its not taking a plunge its like opening the shades and letting the light in. Read an Evo Root guide for noobs on xda and it walks you through every single step. This stuff is child's play
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I've never tried tethering with pdanet while connected to wifi. Try it while connected to 3g or 4g and see what happens. I love the wireless tether app, so simple. And as the other guy said, error 67 means you have no data. Which is what leads me to believe it's got something to do with being on wifi.

I had the same problem. Try setting "charge only." It worked for me. Lew
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
Exactly, if your using pdanet the instructions say to select charge only when you connect the phone to your computer. The usb tethering selection is not used with PDAnet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whosyobobby:
Thanks, everyone.

I had a 3G connection and had no problem accessing the internet from the phone. I didn't really understand why it was saying that I didn't have a data connection. When I would be using PdaNet at the house, I would not have a WiFi net to connect to, I just happened to be at DD to access the net with my computer and D/L the computer side s/w of PdaNet.

I will try the charge only option. I think I have the USB tether option selected.

I hope that works for me. I'll update and let you know how it goes.

Thanks,

Bob

One other thing if you can't get it to work, you might want to try Easy Tether instead of PDANet. I don't know if you bought the paid version of PDANet, but the paid version of Easy Tether is cheaper and it seems to work better for me.

So here is something interesing. I've head of phones hangning and boot loops, etc.

So, let me reverse this abit and see what everyone thinks. If my phone is turned on, but my laptop off, when I go to boot my laptop with the phone plugged in (its always in development mode never auto mount) my laptop hangs at the windows boot animation screen, at least til I unplug the phone.

I've tried this with various roms on the phone, another android phone (HTC aria), and even my nook color. Its only limited to the android phones, as it doesn't hang with the nook color.

I'm wondering why android phones would be causing windows to get stuck on the boot screen. Any idea's?

According to ROM Mgr, I have successfully flashed CWM 3.0.0.8 but when I boot into Recovery, it shows 2.5.0.1. Also when I try to flash a new ROM with ROM Mgr, I get error msg saying to check log. The only way I can flash a new ROM is to do the Update.zip thing. Nandroid seems to work ok. What am I doing wrong?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baciv:
Sometimes you have to flash it twice to get it to take. Dunno why.

hope that helps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budman 53:
I've tried that several times. ROM Mgr says that 3.0.0.8 has successfully flashed but Recovery says otherwise. Has to be related to the fact that ROM Mgr will not flash any different ROMs. Flashing with Update.zip doesn't give the option to wipe before reflash which worries me a little. How drastic will I have to get to fix this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjb413:
depending on what your flashing needs are, you could try to go to rom manager and flash alternate recovery ra_gnm v1.8.1 I have used it and it worked fine for me. not sure if it supports the new scripting for clockwork after 3.0.0.XX. you could also try flashing the alternate recovery and then flash clockwork back right away see if it sticks that way.

I was having the same problem i would flash in RM and when I booted the phone it will still have the 2.5 version of CW.. but Some one here in the forum gave me this file and it work just fine.... dont flash it in recovery just put it your root sdcard and power off and them power on + Vol - and you should have 3.0.8 hope it works....

See this thread:

The OP contains lots of advice for getting 3.0.0.8 installed and working properly.

Perhaps most importantly, make sure "Erase recovery" is checked in Rom Manager settings.

When flashing in hoot your SD card has to be formatted fat32 or it won't work..... check and see if your formatted correctly..... if not back up your files on your pc then reformat and it should work
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgoldner:
Don't know whether you solved your problem in the last 30 days, but my suggestion is DON'T USE ROM MANAGER TO UPDATE CLOCKWORK.

I downloaded the most recent CWM from Doug Piston's site, renamed it to PB31IMG.zip and put it in the root directory of my SD card, booted into Bootloader, when it recognized the update file, I ran the update and got to 3.0.0.8.

Meanwhile, ROM Manager still reports that I have an earlier version of CWM, and I've even gone so far as to update the .settings file to correct it, but ROM Manager blithely goes about its business ignorant of the real recovery.

Since my ROM isn't supported by ROM Manager, I figure I can just leave ROM Manager alone ---- I've never trusted backups run through it anyway; I always run Nandroids from Recovery.

[Windows Phone 7 General] DaFlake:
This is a bit interesting. I recently got a Focus updating from my iPhone. I loaded Zune up and then added my library but was told that a number of songs could not be played. No biggie as I don't really use my phone as my iPod. Fast forward to today and I had unbranded my loaded the pre-Nodo update with the new Zune. I decided to load up my library and I can now play Apple DRM free files (M4A).

Has anyone else noticed this? New feature of the update perhaps, or am I just losing my mind?
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Are you on a Mac? I know the Zune Connector software was updated to support Apple audio files
[Windows Phone 7 General] DaFlake:
I am on Windows... I wasn't sure if it would work to be honest. The first time that I loaded the files in, none of the ones bought via iTunes would play but now all of them do. I even loaded a song to the phone and it played. :D

Its going to be hard to help you, if you are cross posting and jumping around. That's one reason why cross/multiple posting is a bad idea (in addition to clogging up the forums needlessly).

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12416660&postcount=5116

In the other thread, you replied to my suggestion:

The APN settings are under Menu>Settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile networks>Access point names

Under there, you should see the name of your carrier, press it and look at the settings (or pick the one that is currently selected, there is probably only one choice). Verify the settings are correct. I'm guessing they are not, and the MMS fields in particular need to be corrected.

I just found the Bell APN settings by Googling for it:

Name: Bell Internet

APN: pda.bell.ca

Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca

Port: 80

MMSC: http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc

MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca

MMS port: 80

MCC: 302

MNC: 610

APN type: Internet + mms

Authentication Type: none

If any of the info is not correct, modify it to read exactly as shown above (except for "Name", which can be whatever you want). You may need to reboot for the settings to take effect. Not a fast boot, a real reboot by holding the power button until the Power Options show, and pick Restart.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kneedraggin101:
I actually had 2 spots to choose, both were identical, but i changed the info, and now i only have one....

but do i have to keep the space between APN type : Internet + mms... or can it be Internet+mms?

also in looking around

* Name: Bell

* APN: pda.bell.ca

* Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca

* Port: 80

* Username: <Not set>

* Password: <Not set>

* Server: <Not set>

* MMSC: http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc

* MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca

* MMS port: 80

* MMS protocol: WAP 2.0

* MCC : 302

* MNC : 610

* APN type : <Not set>

this is from bell's site... but it says for a HTC Desire.... but it shows the APN type as not set, and you showed me it as internet + mms

so which is correct?
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
I think <Not set> is fine for APN type.

I've seen the same for my carrier (some list <Not set>, some say something else), and I think putting either works.

BTW, you can easily test if MMS is working by sending one to yourself.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kneedraggin101:
i can send it to my self, not anyone else...

any other options?

cause in notifications, it says unable to send message after multiple attempts

Service denied...

but again i can send them to my self, but thats the msg i get when i try to send to anyone else
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Did you need to fix any of the APN settings? If so, did you do a "real" reboot as I mentioned?

You might also check if the size of the media you are sending exceeds the network's limit. I don't know what the limit on Bell is. But you might try the lowest setting possible on Virtuous for starters (600kb). The settings is found in the Messages app in Menu>Settings>Maximum message size.
